A lifelong friend of mine passed before her time; breast cancer.
She was cremated in accordance with her wishes but no service for six months. Then there was a gathering, but it was more a celebration of a life than sad.
Her daughter gave out portions of her mom's ashes to those that requested to scatter them in beautiful places.
I left some in Costa Rica, and some high up on the Mescalero Res, and some again at a State Park she had loved in NY State.
Anyhow, that's the best funeral I've had experience with.
Cremation for myself, folks can do what they want after that.

This is close to what I had in mind.
